Roy Keane left Manchester United after criticising his teammates for a 4-1 defeat to Middlesbrough in 2005. Sir Alex Ferguson said he had no choice but to let him go, otherwise he would’ve lost control and be viewed differently by his players.

Dunno…..think Fergie is talking crap. Fergie wanted him out before this. Had his chance. Took it.
They could have just fined him instead Lol. No no let’s let him go lol
Fergie with this we HA HA HA it was me and your gone roy bye
Nothing more than a glorified street thug.
Most overrated manager in prem history.
All you need to know about this man.
if keane was English/British he'd have a statue at old trafford. united prefer a drunken player who was great for 3 years and drunk for 5 to have a statue
This guy knows how to handle difficult personalities. He makes the rough decisions. Excellent football manager.
Sir Alex Ferguson played for rangers
Ferguson is being a tool. Keane is an obdurate turd though…
And why shouldn’t he criticise his team mates?
Roy gave 100% effort for 100% of the time – others didn’t!!!
I love sir Alex but he was wrong on a few occasions. Could of handled becks and Keane very differently and showed a bit more loyalty. Plus jaap stam was one he openly admitted himself
Now roy defend egonaldo. Now we know why saf kick him
Brian Robson
Steve Bruce
Japp Stam
David Beckham
Roy Keane
Van Nistelroy
Carlos Tevez
Problems with Cristiano Ronaldo
Problems with Wayne Rooney
And more that I haven't mentioned
A laundry list of top quality talent, most of which left the club.
The common denominator? Alex Ferguson.
Figure it out.
Keane did not deserve that treatment. You should have let him leave with dignity "Sir" Alex.
Listen to both sides of the story, it looks like they wanted Keane out, tried in summer by targeting Keane, didn’t work. Kept trying, then something came up which wasn’t released to the public. Keane said the whole team watched it and only Carlos coach and Van Der Sar had an issue/spoke up.
If anything Fergie looks like a coward. I mean couldn’t even strip Keane of the captaincy, had to terminate the contract…
Fergies later career was prolonged because of Roy Keane , he was his greatest captain , sad the way it ended .
Carlos queiroz was the fault Keane and Fergie departed
I hope one day they bury the hatchet. They’ve had a huge impact on each other’s lives and at times it looked like a father-son relationship. Fergie didn’t have that rapport with other players
The irony of Fergie’s comments here after he infamously tore in to his Aberdeen side after they beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup. He wasn’t happy with their performance and slated them on TV literally on the pitch as everyone celebrated. He later came to regret it and admitted he was just emotional because he wanted to not just beat Rangers but to ‘smash them’ as he said in a later interview.
Roy Keane just wanted what was best for Man Utd. He expected excellence and was a driving force for that. Fergie would’ve done well to remember that. Suggests that he had an ulterior motive to moving him on
Even the best of us get old! If Fergie and Keane were honest they probably never liked each other and it was always going to end badly
"MUTV", I didnt know manchester united did self sabotage even 15 years ago.
Sorry Fergie but I'm afraid a Big Majority are behind Roy Keane on this including Ex Players that was the Video,,,Also remember you lost 4-1 in that game was Roy supposed to congratulate the team on their Performance,,,,Do me a Favour
Can this guy not speak english?
Keane was impossible to manage
Gotta side with keano after what he said
Did Roy have his eye on Alex's chair ?
So spoke the man who now can't get fire insurance for his trousers.
He let rooney get away with a fair bit but was dealing with a younger guy and the future of the club, if rooney was older different storey
Fergie was lying here, and not for the first time. He lied to get situations where he wanted them throughout his managerial career, as all managers have done to greater or lesses extent. Keane was remarkably silent for years around some of the decisions Fergie made, and when he criticised players in the past, Fergie was beyond silent or hopped on board. Other personalities didn't want a man around, who took no prisoners and who was always going to speak his mind, if the team weren't winning. Fergie knew exactly the kind of shortcoming the club was going to have to accept going forwards. Keane didn't fit anymore. End.
